Session begain with introduction and context. Participants represented SLAC, SUL, GSB, FMS, UIT, H&S and other groups. There is growing interest in the Data Practioneers CoP with about 20 Schools/Departments participating. Cop has been instrumental for knowledge sharing, getting help , and exposing new data sources. Question posed to the group about their areas of interest, which included:

Are you interested in building an “All Stanford IT” Online Community Solution? This would be a central place to share information; and find out who's who in IT at Stanford?
We shared ideas and looked at gaps that currently exist and what a solution might look like.

We’re looking for people to validate this idea and volunteer some time to put it into action.

During breakout, we looked at gaps, solutions, barriers to implement/maintain, adopt, etc. such a solution.
